How it works

From schedule to calendar in three steps

The Calendar tile inside Scholarly's AI File Creator reads the dates in your material and writes a standard .ics file.

  1. 01

    Add your schedule

    Upload a syllabus, timetable, project plan, or onboarding pack as a PDF, Word doc, PowerPoint, spreadsheet, or text file — or pick from your library, Google Drive, or a URL. Up to 3 sources per file.

  2. 02

    Pick Calendar and say which dates matter

    Choose the Calendar tile. In custom instructions, describe what to include — deadlines only, every lecture, milestones and reviews — and the generator creates one event per dated item.

  3. 03

    Download and import

    The .ics file is saved to your library and downloads instantly. Import it into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar, or share it with a class, cohort, or team.

Use cases

What people turn into calendar events

Any document where the dates matter more than the prose around them.

Syllabus to semester calendar

Lectures, readings, problem sets, and exams from a course syllabus become a full semester of events, each with the room, reading, or weighting the syllabus mentions.

Example: 12-week syllabus PDF → lecture, assignment, and exam events with descriptions.

Exam and certification timetables

Registration windows, sitting dates, and results days from a licensing or certification timetable, so nothing on the road to the exam is missed.

Example: bar exam or CPA schedule → registration deadline, exam days, score release.

Project plans and milestones

Kick-offs, review gates, deliverable due dates, and go-live from a project charter or statement of work, ready to share with the whole team.

Example: statement of work → milestone events with owner and deliverable in the description.

Onboarding and training schedules

Turn a new-hire onboarding plan or training programme into a calendar a new team member can subscribe to on day one.

Example: 30-day onboarding doc → session events with the topic and pre-reading.

What you get

A calendar file that imports cleanly

Standard .ics output, one event per dated item, nothing the source does not support.

One event per dated item

Each deadline, session, or milestone in your source becomes its own event with a specific title.

Dates and times from the source

When your document gives a time, the event carries it. When it gives only a date, the event is created without a time instead of a made-up one.

Short, useful descriptions

Every event includes a short description drawn from the source — the reading, the room, the weighting, or the deliverable.

Never invents dates

The generator only creates events for dates your source actually supports. It will not guess a date that is not there.

Works for study and work

The same tile handles a course syllabus, a certification timetable, a project plan, or a training schedule.

Standard .ics format

Imports directly into Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, and into any other app that reads iCalendar files.

Why a calendar file

Why an .ics file beats retyping dates

Updated August 2026

Upload up to 3 sources — a syllabus, timetable, plan, or schedule as a PDF, Word doc, slides, spreadsheet, text file, Google Drive file, or URL — pick the Calendar tile, and Scholarly generates an .ics file with one event per dated item, saved to your library and ready to import into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI creation and one upload (8MB or 32 PDF pages). Premium ($30/mo or $144/yr) allows 10 AI creations per week and Laureate ($99/mo) allows 80.

Most schedules arrive as a PDF table or a paragraph of dates, and the usual fix is an evening of retyping them into a calendar one by one. Retyping is slow, and it is where deadlines get mistyped or skipped. The Calendar tile reads the document once and writes every dated item into a standard iCalendar file.

Because the generator is source-grounded, it only creates events for dates the document actually gives. A syllabus that lists a final exam date but no time produces an event without a time; a project plan that says "week of 3 March" does not get a fake 9am slot. Gaps stay visible so you can fill them from the real source, not from a guess.

The finished .ics is a real file in your Scholarly library, next to the syllabus or plan it came from. Import it into your own calendar, or share the file so a class, cohort, or project team all see the same dates.

Good to know before you generate

The Calendar tile is deliberately strict. These are the boundaries to plan around.

  • Items without a date in the source do not become events. If a reading list has no due dates, the file will not contain them — add the dates to your instructions or source first.
  • Recurring schedules are written as the events the source supports. If the syllabus says "every Tuesday" without listing the dates, describe the term start and end in custom instructions so the events are grounded.
  • Each generation pulls from up to 3 sources. The Free plan accepts one upload of up to 8MB or 32 PDF pages; paid plans raise the upload limits.
  • Each calendar file counts as one AI creation from the same weekly allowance as flashcards, podcasts, videos, and other Scholarly tools.

For work and teams

Professionals use the Calendar tile for training schedules, certification roadmaps, project milestones, compliance deadlines, and onboarding plans — any document where the dates are the point. Generate once from the source document and everyone imports the same .ics instead of copying dates by hand.

Teams plans add shared libraries, so a training lead or project manager can keep the source plan, the calendar file, and the related SOPs together where the whole team can reach them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I turn a syllabus into a calendar?

Yes. Upload the syllabus, pick the Calendar tile, and tell the generator which dates matter. You get an .ics file with one event per lecture, deadline, or exam that the syllabus dates, ready to import into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

Which calendar apps can open the file?

The output is a standard .ics (iCalendar) file. It imports directly into Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, and into any other app that accepts .ics files.

What if the document gives a date but no time?

The event is created with the date only. The generator includes a time when the source gives one and does not invent a time or date the source does not support.

Can I choose which items become events?

Yes. Use custom instructions before generating — for example "deadlines and exams only" or "every session including optional workshops". The generator creates one event per dated item that matches.
